The Jacoby Arts Center is currently hosting its first annual exhibit of work by outstanding high school art students in the region. This new event is a unique opportunity for students to receive recognition and exposure for their artwork in a professional environment. The exhibition is also a tribute to the art teachers who inspire and refine the talents of their students.
The exhibit features 78 original two- and three-dimensional works representing art programs at 8 high schools in the region. Ten high schools located within a 20-mile radius of the Jacoby Arts Center were invited to participate. The artworks on display were created as part of the school curriculum and chosen by the schools' art instructors.
